Taken lying on my stomach on ice. I saw this little plant sticking out of nowhere struggling for life. This plant is about 3"inches high. I just loved the shaped it formed.

Super close up, but.... lying on your face on ice?! That is real dedication to the art.
Must have been worth it, produced a nice image.

great shot, did you have to put a sheet or somthing under you and the camera?

Now how did I have a sneaky suspicion that it was you, Pat? Love the photo, for daring the 'emptiness', that golden yellow against the blue, pure magic. That's the only way to get your shots, he? Move it, shake it... CLICK (*:*)

I like the combination of cold and warm colours and the good use of DOF. Spot on composition as always.

You get some cracking shots, the low angle you have taken it from brings out all the detail and the beautiful shape of the plant. Superb light, as always a quality photograph.

Thanks everyone. I wasn't sure about this one expecting not much. It is always nice to get opinions from other photographers that know what to look for in pictures. Greatly appreciated

Thank you for all your comments, you guys are all too great. To answer your question Mike. No I didn't have to put anything between me or the camera and the ice. This shot was taken directly lying on it , I was hand holding my camera.

Fantastic Pat, one of your best - and not instantly recognisable as one of yours.
I love the simplicity of this, it was worth getting cold and wet for.
Well done on the award ...and it's a deserving picture of the week.
